Rude.
Scoundrel.
Drunkard.
Disappointment.
Trash.
Cale heard it all and lived through it all at 18.
18.
He lived up until 18.
Now, as a new individual reborn, Cale Thames is living in a new world.
Melareñe, the land of Accolades.
As an orphan, an individual reborn, Cale Thames lived as a commoner. He was glad that he wasn't born as a noble. He hated that life. To be surrounded by haughty individuals is, needless to say, tiring.
As a commoner himself, he saw how happy folks are despite their difficult living conditions. They focused on the present, not the situation. Cale found himself to... love it. Love them. Despite being strangers.
As a knight trainee of Melareñe, he swore to defend their happiness. Their smiles. This beautiful moment.
Of course.
The dark lord is willing to do anything to fulfill the knight's dream.
